The University of Osaka charges the standard national rate to every student regardless of nationality: JPY 535,800 a year in tuition, a JPY 282,000 admission (matriculation) fee, and a non-refundable entrance examination fee of JPY 17,000 for undergraduate applicants and JPY 30,000 for graduate applicants. This project did not find a separate, higher application fee specifically for the Human Sciences IUDP, so the general undergraduate examination fee is recorded here; applicants should confirm the exact figure in that year's own IUDP application guidelines.
